Tools Overview

The options in the Tools menu allow you to add a variety of drawing objects to the model view. You can easily measure distances and angles, add text, model information, graphics etc.

The Drawing Tools include the following options:

All objects added to a view with the Tools menu options are referred to as Drawing Tools in the Slide2 documentation.

Adding Drawing Tools

Drawing tools are available in both the Slide2 Model and Interpret programs, but are added independently in each program (i.e. tools added in Model will not appear in Interpret, and vice versa). However, you can import tools from Model to Interpret if you wish, by using the Copy Tools from Modeller option.

Editing Drawing Tools

After adding Drawing Tools to a view, they can be easily formatted, moved, re-sized, deleted, hidden or copied. To edit drawing tools, you can use the options in the Tools menu, or a variety of shortcuts:

  • If you left-click on a drawing tool, you can re-size or move the tool by clicking and dragging with the mouse
  • If you right-click on a drawing tool, the popup menu will display applicable editing options
  • If you double click on a drawing tool, this is a shortcut to the Format Tool dialog

See the Edit Tools Overview topic for more information.

Saving Drawing Tools

Drawing Tools are automatically saved with the Slide2 file (i.e. when you select the Save or Save As options in the File menu), and will automatically re-appear when you open the file.

Copy/Paste

Tools can be copied and pasted within and between windows and scenarios using the keyboard shortcuts (CTRL + C or V), the right-click menu or by using the Edit menu.

Undo/Redo

The Undo/Redo options apply to Drawing Tools as well as modelling changes. Therefore you can easily undo/redo changes to the Drawing Tools.

Convert Tool to Boundary

In the Slide2 Model program, you can convert polyline, polygon or pencil drawing tools, into Slide2 model boundaries, with the Convert Tool to Boundary option.
